Deterministic Finite Automata #

This file contains the definition of a Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA), a state machine which determines whether a string (implemented as a list over an arbitrary alphabet) is in a regular set in linear time. Note that this definition allows for Automaton with infinite states, a fintype instance must be supplied for true DFA's.

structure DFA (α : Type u) (σ : Type v) :
Type (max u v)
  • step : σ → α → σ
  • start : σ
  • accept : set σ

A DFA is a set of states (σ), a transition function from state to state labelled by the alphabet (step), a starting state (start) and a set of acceptance states (accept).
